Description

 							Headstrong: 52 Women Who Changed Science-and the World
  
  Written by: Rachel Swaby
  Narrated
by: Lauren Fortgang
  Length: 7 hrs and 1 min
  
  Fifty-two inspiring and insightful profiles of
history's brightest female scientists.
  
  In 2013, the New York Times published an obituary for Yvonne
Brill. It began: "She made a mean beef stroganoff, followed her husband from job to job, and took eight years off from
work to raise three children." It wasn't until the second paragraph that readers discovered why the Times had devoted
several hundred words to her life: Brill was a brilliant rocket scientist who invented a propulsion system to keep
communications satellites in orbit, and had recently been awarded the National Medal of Technology and Innovation. Among
the questions the obituary - and consequent outcry - prompted were, Who are the role models for today's female
scientists, and where can we find the stories that cast them in their true light?
  
  Headstrong delivers a
powerful, global, and engaging response. Covering Nobel Prize winners and major innovators, as well as lesser-known but
hugely significant scientists who influence our every day, Rachel Swaby's vibrant profiles span centuries of courageous
thinkers and illustrate how each one's ideas developed, from their first moment of scientific engagement through the
research and discovery for which they're best known. This fascinating tour reveals these 52 women at their best - while
encouraging and inspiring a new generation of girls to put on their lab coats.
  
  What the Critics Say

 
  "A woman revolutionized heart surgery. A woman created the standard test given to all newborns to determine
their health. A woman was responsible for some of the earliest treatments of previously terminal cancers. We shouldn't
need to be reminded of their names, but we do. With a deft touch, Rachel Swaby has assembled an inspiring collection of
some of the central figures in 20th century science. Headstrong is an eye-opening, much-needed exploration of the names
history would do well to remember, and Swaby is a masterful guide through their stories." (Maria Konnikova, Contributing
New Yorker writer and New York Times best-selling author of Mastermind: How to Think like Sherlock Holmes)
  

 "Rachel Swaby's fine, smart look at women in science is a much-needed corrective to the record - a deftly balanced
field guide to the overlooked (Hilde Mangold), the marginalized (Rosalind Franklin), the unexpected (Hedy Lamarr), the
pioneering (Ada Lovelace), and the still-controversial (Rachel Carson). Swaby reminds us that science, like the rest of
life, is a team sport played by both genders." (William Souder, author of On a Farther Shore and Under a Wild Sky)

 
  "Headstrong is a true gem. So many amazing women have had an incredible impact on STEM fields, and this book
gives clear, concise, easy-to-digest histories of 52 of them - there's no longer an excuse for not being familiar with
our math and science heroines. Thank you, Rachel!" (Danica McKellar, actress and New York Times best-selling author of
Math Doesn't Suck)
